Lady Hill

Galle, Sri Lanka

This hotel is situated about 115 km from the capital Colombo, in Galle, the first international trade centre of Sri Lanka. Nestled on the highest point in the ancient port city of Galle, the hotel offers a bird's eye view of the lush green tea plantations stretching down the mountains to meet the brilliant blue Indian Ocean. Close to some of the best beaches on the island and to the heart of Galle, but secluded enough for it to be relaxing and rejuvenating, this is just what the discerning tourist and business traveller is looking for. The hotel offers a personalised efficient service without the typical, impersonal tourist hotel servility. The hotel has its own restaurant and provides room service. The spacious and comfortable rooms are equipped with en suite bathrooms with hot and cold running water. In-room amenities include individually regulated air conditioning, a mini fridge and minibar, piped music to soothe the senses, television with domestic and satellite channels and a telephone with IDD facilities. The rooms also feature a private balcony or terrace. Guests may spend a lazy afternoon in the swimming pool with the entire Galle Harbour spread out below them, and for those who feel active there are tennis courts to ensure they stay in shape. The main restaurant serves Sri Lankan delicacies that tickle the taste buds, or international cuisine with an emphasis on Chinese specialities. Alternatively, guests may prefer the traditional pizzas baked in original wood-fired stoves. For the discerning palate, the range extends from gourmet to speciality food and the health-conscious will be happy to know the dishes are prepared using the freshest ingredients; seafood from the day's catch, brought in to the harbour by fishing boats and fruit and vegetables from selected growers and market gardens.
